A world of food from A to Z and us

The Prendergast family try a recipe from a different country every night.

Turkmenistan (and Kryzygstan)

We know these are two different countries, but we've done so many from this region and all their cuisine is the same! And anyway, these guys are neighbours so we know their food is the same. We searched high and low to find a recipe that is not plov/pilaff; or rice and lamb, so were pleased to find this recipe for lemon chicken. It was a whole chicken, rubbed with spices, garlic and onion and roasted. The juices are then mixed with chopped green olives and lemon rind, and poured over the top. It was delicious; quite subtle but still noticably more flavoursome than ordinary roast chicken. And the sauce was nice for the grown-ups. We finished with 4 clear plates, so that must be a sign of approval. Just 2 countries to go!!!!!!
